Before you answer the question, you must know what FireFTP is!
- FireFTP is not like ftp://example.com
- FireFTP is not like net2ftp or chromeftp
FireFTP doesn't need to access any external website, FireFTP, similarly to FileZilla, directly accesses your FTP Server using Firefox. FireFTP has 2 panels like Norton Commander.
In short, there is no app like FireFTP in Chrome! Sadly, but it's true at the moment I'm writing this.
NOTE: That's why many users still use Firefox because FireFTP is very helpful!!!
An alternative might be to use a 3rd party website such as
Again, not hugely exciting. Both the obvious looking "FTP" chrome extensions (Chrome FTP & FTP Client) are pretty poor, but you never know, YMMV.
I have put together a site using the net2ftp script that works pretty well. I put it behind and SSL so it is also secure.
Yeah, slim pickings, I'm afraid.
You can use Chrome's built-in FTP client, but it's pretty basic. eg: ftp://anonymous:password@
(You can skip the "username:password@" prefix and Chrome will prompt you for them instead.)
3You just open a new tab or window and write your FTP address. It will then ask for the user and password details. You don't need to download any program or extension.
